The Armoured Persona Contest

In this contest, your task is simple: Create a MALE human character design based on the IS-3 in ANY art style you prefer.

There is total freedom to do what you want - your IS-3 MALE character can be in any shape and setting you wish. However, all submissions must fulfill several requirements to be accepted for the contest:

The character resembles a IS-3 in some way; submissions not based on the tank will not be accepted.

The character is 100% original and does not contain material copied from other intellectual property.

The character has never been featured on the internet or other media (with the exception of WMA) prior to submission for this contest.

All submissions must abide by the forum rules.

All entries submitted for the contest automatically become the property of Wargaming Asia.

Submission and Judging Deadlines

The contest begins on 14th November 2014, so pick up your favourite drawing tool and start sketching! However, do note the following deadlines for the contest:

15th December 2014: Deadline of entry submission. No other entries will be accepted after this day.

19th December 2014: Community's Choice voting begins. The community gets to decide which character designs are the best of them all!

PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO VIEW MY ART AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

This is an IS-3 Tier 8 Heavy tank in it's "Armored Persona" form

This image depicts a human IS-3 as a battle hardened soldier, not much armor can be seen from this guy as same as the tank itself in-game, but as you can see the turret is quite strong and he uses it as a shield to deflect shells and attacks from enemies

I'm not into drawing but i have some idea for it. IS-3 is a big tank with big gun. Male version should be bulky, big in a simple word with big gun like bazooka, rocker launcher or something big. Anime character which would fit in this category r like Gato (Ghost in the Shell) or Briareos (Appleseed). It's just an idea.
